Abstract:
Modern codes for the earthquake-resistant design of structures rely on the dissipation of seismic energy through deformations of pre-designated plastic hinge regions. In reinforced concrete members, it is of utmost importance that these plastic hinges be confined adequately so that they possess sufficient rotational capacity. Eurocode 8, the European code for earthquake resistant
design, specifies considerable quantities of transverse steel, in the form of links, in the plastic hinges where larger inelastic deform ations are expected to occur.
